You came to Texas,
America's Lone Star State
because you wanted the ranch experience.
This isn't what you had in mind.
A giant man wearing a mask
made of human skin is chasing you,
and he has a chainsaw.
Unfortunately,
it’s not for cutting trees.
Oh, boy, this is gonna be a tough one.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
premiered in 1974.
It starts off innocently enough
with a young Sally Hardesty,
her brother Franklin
and a few of their friends
making a road trip across the state.
Needing gas for their van,
they stop at a house
to see if they have any to spare.
Turns out this would be the worst idea
they'd ever have,
and the last one for most of them.
Leatherface and his cannibalistic
Sawyer family members
brutally make a meal of everyone,
except Sally.
She makes it out of one of
Hollywood's scariest dinners alive.
If you want to survive
an encounter with Leatherface
keep watching.
“Try anything and you’re canceled, bro.”
It's a short list of people
who have escaped the ruthless murderer
and his sinister family
throughout the movies.
But that doesn't mean
that he doesn't have some weak spots.
After all, he’s just a normal guy.
I mean at least in terms of physical abilities
outside the fact he's a burly dude.
He's strong,
but he doesn’t have superpowers.
Just a taste for violence and human flesh.
To start,
keep as much space as you can
between the two of you.
Toss whatever
you can get your hands on at him.
Better yet,
grab a pitchfork or shovel and let loose.
The best areas to aim for
are the throat and eyes.
Even knocking that mask off
might give you an edge
while he fumbles around.
Leatherface’s weapon of choice
is a chainsaw.
The closer he gets to you,
the higher the odds you'll end up
in his fridge
waiting to be cooked.
If my advice came a little bit too late
and you’re standing
face-to-leatherface with him
while dangling meat hooks loom over you,
pull yourself together
before he cuts you apart.
You're still gonna need to avoid
that chainsaw.
Locate objects around you
and stay near them,
this way it’ll be more difficult for him
to maneuver his chainsaw
around furniture compared to open space.
Move tables, chairs,
anything that you can put
between you and him.
Wow,
you successfully blocked that chainsaw.
I’m impressed,
but there's no time to celebrate.
You have to get as far away as you can,
and fast.
Leatherface lives in a secluded area
so you need to get to a road
and start running.
Beware of strangers offering you a lift,
since some of the locals
might be Sawyer kin.
Have you seen this movie?
You know what we're talking about.
Look for a car,
a tractor, maybe even a bicycle.
Anything that can move faster
than the guy with a chainsaw behind you.
You’re not Leatherface's only victim.
You can tell because you saw
a chair made of human bones
and you're pretty sure
you heard someone screaming.
Of course you want to go back
to help them.
Don’t.
I know that sounds terrible,
but trust me on this one.
If you return,
you're entering the lair of
a very angry serial killer
whose only focus now is killing you.
You might not be the hero today,
but at least you can live another day
to tell the police what's happened.
You fought back and escaped Leatherface
but he's not the only creep with a mask
that wants to murder you.
Next up is Ghostface,
the iconic slasher of the Scream movies.
Have you made any enemies recently?
Because it might be one of them
hiding under that mask.
There's only one way to find out,
here.
